30 Second Interviews - Andy Littlemore - French Horn

Andy, how’s life at Opera North?
Life at Opera North is fantastic. We are just about to start our tour this season in Manchester followed by Nottingham and then the sage in Gateshead. We are playing Carmen which we have been doing since Christmas. Fidelio is going down very well with the audiences and the Janacek 'From The House Of The Dead' is fantastic. It's great to play something in the Opera that uses big forces. We are just about to start Rheingold rehearsals which will be great. We are performing them as semi-staged productions in Leeds, Gateshead and Birmingham. All in all very busy!

Are you working anywhere else at the moment?
I am going back in with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra to record Dvorak 9 in a few weeks. I have a recital coming up in Dorset in mid June so working hard towards that. I haven't been able to do dates that RPO have offered but hopefully I'll be able to make something work soon.

What have you been up to away from the French Horn?
Aside from playing the horn I have been cycling and walking quite a lot making the most of the lovely weather sampling ale wherever I go!!
